What We Do

We provide editorial quality control services for the full range of clinical and regulatory documents, as well as for journal manuscript submissions and congress materials. Our editorial team is trained in the conventions and requirements of regulatory submissions, scientific publishing and congress presentation, and we apply those standards consistently to every piece of work. 

Submission management is a separate but closely related service. We manage the logistics of document submission, whether to a regulatory agency, a journal or a congress organiser, ensuring that deadlines are met, formatting requirements are satisfied and the submission record is maintained.

How We Work

Editorial QC is carried out against a clear specification. For regulatory documents, that specification is drawn from the relevant guideline requirements and agency preferences. For publications, it reflects the target journal's instructions for authors. We do not apply a generic standard and hope for the best. 

Submission management involves careful forward planning. We track submission deadlines, coordinate document preparation across multiple contributors, manage final sign-off processes and maintain a complete and auditable submission record.

Frequently Asked Questions
The electronic Common Technical Document, or eCTD, is the standard format in which marketing authorisation applications and other regulatory submissions are made to major agencies including the MHRA, EMA and FDA. If you are submitting a marketing authorisation application or an IND in the US, you will need your documents prepared and published in eCTD format. We provide this service as part of our broader submission support offering.
Yes. Journal submission is a more complex process than it might appear, involving the selection of the appropriate journal, compliance with submission requirements, coordination of author confirmations, and management of correspondence with the editorial office. We manage this process on behalf of sponsors and authors, allowing the scientific team to focus on the content rather than the administrative process.
Rejection and revision are a normal part of the publication process, and a well-prepared response to reviewer comments can often turn an initial rejection into an acceptance elsewhere or a revision request at the target journal. We support authors through this process, helping to frame responses professionally and to make the revisions that reviewers have identified.
